Audi's 600HP RS Q8 To Debut Sooner Than You Think

Audi’s Q8 family will soon be get a range-topping RS version. Without revealing their sources, Spain’s AutoBild reports that the official unveiling has been set for November 20.

Slotting above the SQ8, the hyper sports activity coupe will be a more affordable alternative to the Lamborghini Urus, albeit with less power, as the 4.0-liter, twin-turbo V8 that makes 641 HP in the Italian super SUV is expected to be de-tuned to around 600 HP.

Floating roof, big screens, silly grills, useless door handles and now how squished can we make the tail lights on our newest vehicles. There is far too much groupthink in the auto business.

With this RS Q8 and the Cayenne variants, why would anyone be inclined to buy a Bentayga or a Urus?

As I mentioned in a previous post, this is more FAT profit for VW. Platform shared with Porsche, Lambo, Bentley and of course VW's own SUV's.
